1 ECORD Summer School 2007, August 13 24, University of Bremen 1 ECORD Summer School on Paleoceanography 2007 August 13-24, University of Bremen "Lectures and interactive discussions on the paleoceanography of the Cretaceous to Cenozoic Oceans are combined with practicals on core logging and time-series analysis techniques using the facilities of the IODP Bremen Core Repository (BCR). A focus of both lectures and discussions will be on key topics of ocean heat transport and nutrient cycles, on recent developments in integrated stratigraphy, and on recent studies of North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean climate variability."
